If you are not planning on exporting the data and code, you can put them
into a subheading and "COMMENT" it out.  I do this frequently.  See the
attached file for a simple example.  The really nice thing, for me, is
that you can have the results appearing *before* the data and
code...  This is not necessarily so long as you can put the results in
some other heading, say.
